Over Memorial Day weekend Cody and I spent time with my family at the Oregon Coast. We started our journey on Friday the 23rd, we stopped at the Tillamook Forest Center and walked around to see all of the neat exhibits they had there to share. We watched a short 15 minute film about the three forest fires they had back in the late 1930's and early 1940's, that destroyed acres of forest. We learned about the legacy of the historic Tillamook Burn and the public spirit behind a monumental reforestation effort that left a permanent mark on Oregon history and helped shape sustainable forest management today. It was a fun and neat place to visit the kids really enjoyed learning about trees, the forest, the forest fires that took place there.
